Guggenheim Investments, the investment management division of Guggenheim Partners, LLC, announced today that it will execute a 1-for-10 reverse split of the shares of Guggenheim Solar ETF (NYSEArca:TAN) (the “Fund”) for shareholders of record after the close of the markets on February 14, 2012. The effective date of the split will be at market open on February 15, 2012. The Fund will continue to trade on the NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol “TAN”, but the current CUSIP number, 18383M621, will be discontinued and the Fund’s new CUSIP number will be 18383Q739 effective February 15, 2012.

Shareholders of record on February 14, 2012 will participate in the reverse split. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the registered owner of all Fund shares, has been notified of the reverse splits and has been instructed to adjust each shareholder’s investment accordingly.

Shares of the Fund will be offered on a split-adjusted basis on February 15, 2012. The total market value of the shares outstanding will not be affected as a result of this reverse split, except with respect to the redemption of fractional shares, as discussed below.

Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?

"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."

Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences for each Reverse Split

As a result of the reverse split, a shareholder of the Fund could potentially hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on NYSE Arca. Thus, the firms at which shareholders hold shares of the Fund will sell for cash a shareholder’s fractional shares in the open market on February 15, 2012 or as soon as practicable thereafter. Such share sales could cause a shareholder to realize a gain or loss. Otherwise, the reverse split will not result in a taxable transaction for holders of the Fund.
